My sister, Martha Dean Baker
To my big sister who was also my "mother" and my best friend growing up.
We shared a bedroom for many years and she proclaimed herself as "room decorator." Our walls were covered with pictures of Elvis Presley.
However, there were times when we had those sisterly spats too. When I was getting ready for school., she would always make sure I was dressed neatly.
Marty got lots of preparation for her role as a mother as she was the neighborhood baby sitter. She took me along for "diaper duty" so I could get practice for when I started baby sitting.
The most wonderful things about my sister is that she loved everyone and treated them with respect.
Two of my sons spent a couple of weeks with Marty and her family and came home with stories.
A few days ago she reminded me of how much fun she had when my children spent time in Lakeview with her.
Martha,
Thank you for being my sister. There could be none better.
